Bruce Hurst Autographed 1985 Fleer #161 Boston Red Sox Card
Featuring one of Bostons most dependable starting pitchers of the 1980s, this Bruce Hurst autographed 1985 Fleer #161 Boston Red Sox card captures the left-hander during the early portion of a successful Red Sox career. The 1985 Fleer set is recognized for its clean white-bordered design with red and blue accents, providing a classic mid-1980s issue of Hurst in a Boston uniform.
Hurst was selected by the Red Sox in the first round of the 1976 MLB Draft and reached the Major Leagues in 1980. By the middle of the decade, he had developed into a fixture in Bostons starting rotation, combining durability with an impressive ability to miss bats from the left side.
His most memorable season in Boston came in 1986, when Hurst went 13-8 with a 2.99 ERA and helped the Red Sox capture the American League East. He was outstanding during Bostons postseason run, earning victories in both the ALCS and World Series. Against the New York Mets in the World Series, Hurst won Games 1 and 5 and allowed just five earned runs over 23 innings across three starts.
Hurst remained one of the American Leagues better left-handed starters through the remainder of his Boston tenure. He won a career-high 18 games in 1988, earned his first All-Star selection and helped the Red Sox capture another AL East title. After joining San Diego, he won 15 games in both 1989 and 1990 and earned a second All-Star selection with the Padres in 1991.
Over a 15-year Major League career, Hurst recorded 145 victories, a 3.92 ERA and 1,689 strikeouts while pitching for the Red Sox, Padres, Rockies and Rangers. The 1985 Fleer #161 is an appealing addition for Boston Red Sox collectors, Bruce Hurst fans, 1986 American League championship collections, Fleer set collectors or collectors assembling comprehensive autographed player runs.
